Album Description

2003 live release recorded at the ICA London 08/12/2003. DHR had had numerous requests to release the ICA set so Alec listened back to the tapes & approved them for release. The set was about 60 minutes. Alec, 'Sometimes you need a little distance from a show like that. When we listened to it in the studio after about three months we were like what the hell! Sometimes a show is great & then the recording doesn't get that vibe across, but we think this works maybe even better on record because of its isolated, aggressive & psychedelic atmosphere'. 12 tracks. Digital Hardcore.

I think Alec says it all really - it does work well as an isolated sort of record. It doesn't really feel like a live record at all. And this is what might frustrate you at first listen. Where is the crowd? Why isn't there anything being said? What the hell is happening? These are the sort of things you'll probably expect when coming to something like a live album like this. He probably could have released this without mentioning it was live and it would have gone beyond me.The tracks are, as Alec said, pretty psychedelic. Nothing shows that off better than The Gameboy Offshow. So instantly addictive and goddamn groovy are the synths that it's impossible to do anything else but to listen to it and nothing else! It's that good!It's probably one of the most played live albums I've got because of the way it doesn't feel like a live album. And that is something special. Too bad his next album is going to be something similar to CD1 of Intelligence and Sacrifice but ah, as long as this CD survives.....I will have no problem
